ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cooee Busways holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TripView has 1.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of TripView's written reviews are positive against 35% of Cooee Busways's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TripView ships an update every 2 months, Cooee Busways every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
